It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

It was one year ago today that I made my first post at PW in the digital forum, when I was researching for a piano.

One year later, I have become part of a cyber family, with friends beyond the borders of the US. For better or for worse, my piano playing has been heard by more people than in my whole previous piano life, thanks to the Piano Bar, and the wonderful quarterly Recitals. And totally unexpected and unplanned when I first joined, I am now learning to play the piano by ear, a skill I didn't know was learnable - all thanks to the (gazillions of) posts at ABF.

Thank you to Frank B. for creating such an awesome community. Thank you to each and everyone of you for making the ABF such a wonderful place. Thanks for sharing all sorts of information, encouragement, inspiration, warm support, the joys and sorrows of your personal life, and your wonderful humor.

P.S. Looking at the number of posts I've made, it'll be 10 years when I'll catch up with Monica's current post count! I'll make sure to post a 10-year anniversary thread!

You are one of the first people I met at the piano forum and I thank you for making my first experience a pleasant one. You made me feel very welcome. Thnak you for the support and you r friendship and may we have many more chats together.

During the first several months at PW, I felt like an outsider stepping into a family gathering. Somewhere along the way, I felt that I have become part of the family - and that's a very nice thing indeed. Now I have more crazy relatives than I dare to count!

Amen, on the crazy relatives! Add me to the list of your dysfunctional family members, OK? Maybe I've been around a week or so longer than you, but I SWEAR I'm as crazy as anyone else and proud of it. :p
